I'm noticing that my fasting blood sugar is consistently between 108 and 115 most days. I don't take any diabetes medication, but I do exercise regularly. What steps can I take to get my fasting sugar levels down into the 90s without relying on diabetes medicine?

To lower your fasting blood sugar from 108-115 to the 90s without medication, focus on these lifestyle modifications: increase aerobic exercise durationintensity (aim for 150 minutesweek), incorporate strength training (2-3 timesweek), lose weight if needed (aim for 5-10% reduction), adopt a balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods, increase fiber intake (aim for 25-30 gramsday), drink plenty of water, manage stress through yoga or meditation, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night; monitor your progress

View allI'm concerned about my mom's health since she has type 2 diabetes and high BP. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to have coconut water and buttermilk every day. She's currently taking Glycomet GP2 for her sugar levels and Listril for her blood pressure. Would these drinks affect her medications or condition in any way?
Yes she can have it no problem

I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, but it's stable right now. A few days back, I had a fever and took Crocin for a day, which made the fever go away. But now I'm having these episodes where it feels like I can't breathe properlysometimes when I'm sitting, other times when I'm standing. Drinking water or eating helps for a bit, but then the shortness of breath comes back. Could this be some kind of infection or just my anxiety acting up? Anyone know if I should be getting some tests done?

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?
Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.
